Small-Space Gardening

Описание: This project is a documentary-style long-form re-edit shaped from observational footage of a small-space harvest (CC BY license)

The original material was repetitive and loosely structured. My role as editor was to design a clear narrative arc that demonstrates abundance within constraints — using pacing, selective trimming, and restraint rather than heavy graphics or effects.

What this edit demonstrates:
Story shaping from footage: structured around a clear hook → conflict → payoff arc
Editorial judgment: aggressive cutting of repetition while preserving authenticity and tone
Long-form pacing: maintaining engagement across a ~11-minute runtime without over-editing
Documentary restraint: letting actions and visuals carry meaning instead of relying on graphics
Natural transitions: clean, invisible section breaks using sound, timing, and rhythm
Narrative approach:
Hook: establishes the promise of harvesting meaningful food in a small space
Conflict: subtle doubt around space limitations and urban constraints
Payoff: visual proof of abundance from a small number of plants
The focus of this edit is not instruction or spectacle, but clarity, proof, and viewer experience — the same approach required for documentary, educational, and industrial-style YouTube content.

Tools & skills used:
Adobe Premiere Pro
Long-form documentary editing
Narrative restructuring & pacing
Minimalist, story-first editorial approach
This piece reflects my editing style: documentary-first storytelling with cinematic restraint, prioritising meaning and flow over unnecessary visual decoration.
